My friends and I watched this in high school, too, and while we didn’t see him necessarily as a hero, we could sympathize with him. We knew he had to go down in the end.

The problem with the movie, then and now, is that it too eagerly invites the audience to cheer for most of what he does. The biggest way that it was ahead of its time is that it was practically designed to be carved up into clips for YouTube and social media consumption. Each scene is a little daily frustration that a…

I’d guess “Senior in high school” explains that. I remember basically the same thing. Everyone (my age) thought he was awesome, especially for the McDonalds scene. I didn’t actually see the movie until some years later and remember being surprised that he wasn’t the good guy. I probably would have bought into it in…

No, that’s not what happens in the DLC at all.

One of my favorite movies. Love this scene in particular:

It’s interesting as a litmus test just because there’s a much more expansive take than the binary “he’s a hero/he’s a villain”, and that’s that he can both be sympathetic for facing issues everyone does and sometimes wishes they could rail against, while also being an example of someone going off the deep end in a way…

True, but as a 6-year-old going to see this in the cinemas, this was the greatest movie ever. Superman mirror match? Yeeeaah!! Giant killer supercomputer? Yeaaaaahh!! I even owned Superman III: The Movie: The Boardgame.

Huh, thanks for the correction. I could have sworn they danced in the DLC, and I thought that before this episode came out. But I am sure you are right. I have played through TLOU three times and Left Behind two times (which is a big deal for me, since I don’t usually play games twice), but it has been a few years…

Yes, it is terrible. As bad as Superman 4 was, at least it was a Superman movie, not a Richard Pryor movie with an extended Superman cameo.

what about the junkyard battle between evil Superman and Clark Kent? That was pretty dope. 

When last revisiting the movies, I actually found Superman 3 to be worse than Superman 4. I get that Quest for Peace was a production disaster, and it literally shows on screen, but I was happy to have the supporting cast return, and the plot itself is more in line with a traditional Superman story. 3 has absolutely…

It did give us the central plot element for Office Space.

Yes, you fool, of the 10 Best Threequels listed, it’s number 14!

Everyone seems to have missed the point of this episode. The only reason this episode exists is because it’s the origin story of the joke book.

Are you high?!  Rocky III is the best Rocky movie of all time, the best boxing movie of all time, and in the top three best sports movies of all time!

Counterpoint-Rocky III is a fantastic movie and frankly, is superior to Rocky IV. You have a much better “villain” in Clubber Lang than Ivan Drago (who’s only reason for existence is because of the Cold War) and it cements the growth in Rocky and Apollo’s relationship from rivals to friends, which lays the groundwork…

It’s way worse than something like Rocky III, which just flat out has no business being on this list.

A-ha’s “Take On Me” was played during the escalator scene. The carousel scene is clearly “Just Like Heaven.”

They seemed to have a higher percentage of working cabinets in that arcade than in any I’ve been to in the past twenty years. Maybe Dave & Busters would benefit from a bit of apocalypsing.

It’s also worth mentioning (as the article did, and linked to a wikipedia page on it) that “it’s okay to be white” is one of those racist dogwhistles chosen by internet shitheads specifically because it sounds innocuous. So racists can use it for covert signaling without tipping off normies, and people who say, “that’s…
